Bag #6, AND my first pic of 2016, goes out to another good friend of mine,  clxcool, who I've gotten to talk to quite a bit about cartoons though I do wish you were on Skype more often, as well as some of our favorite babes, such as... Pauline here.

Pauline is a weird one- despite being Nintendo's first female character, who debuted in the same game as the most famous video game character of all time, she really hasn't been out on much save for... Donkey Kong games, and not even the Donkey Kong Country series, but Mario VS. Donkey Kong games which are just... mini-games games? I don't know, I've never played them myself. Yet, the bizarre thing is that Nintendo treats her as one of their MAIN ladies- she's even featured in the Nintendo Starlets 3DS Puzzle in Puzzle Swap.

She outstages Daisy- I want you to let that sink in for a moment.

It would be nice to see her as a DLC character for Mario Kart 8, or Mario Party 10, or Mario 3D World- just ANYTHING big, really. She WAS a Trophy in the new Smash Bros. game; so she's at least made more frequent appearances this decade. She's definitely had much better luck showing up in games over Tawna, but I don't think that's a really fair comparison.

Oh well, tangent aside, this is my first take on the dame, and she sure does seem surprised- probably because she wasn't expecting me to draw her, or end up in a bag, maybe she realized just how big the Donkey's Dong is, or whatever- doesn't matter. What DOES matter is that I hope you like the gift, man. She was fun to draw. ;D
